Richard B the EMT Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Had the household "deep freeze" freezer die on me, and had to enlist "Lady J's" help. Tossed five 30 gallon trash bags full of assorted meats, poultry, fish, milk, OJ, veggies, and microwaveable meals. Open freezer door stink was intense, but both of us used gloves, and timed it to the evening before both garbage and recycle pickup. After that, I just left the freezer door open a few days, before the repair mechanic arrived to find the failed component, and replaced it.
Kiwiology Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 I would suggest bleach or the modern equivalents of chloride of lime or carbolic acid
Richard B the EMT Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 I believe I did use a Clorox and water 1/8 mix, plus elbow grease, to clean and disinfect the freezer box. Also, thanks for the unintentional reminder: I have to defrost both the basement deepfreeze and the kitchen refrigerator/freezer very soon.
Cookie Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Clorox is actually a universal sanitizer. Can even be used in dish rinse water in the proper amounts. What it is not good for is black mold like we had when we had the flood and the mold that grew in homes and stuff. It actually feeds the mold and causes it to spread, so with that in mind we had to us a fungicide specially for black mold.
DwayneEMTP Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 1 C, funniest friggin' story I've heard in a really long time... I know it sucked, but the visuals and the telling were priceless!
Steve Whitehead Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Big fan of fresh lemons. I've never tried lemon juice, but in the absence of lemons...why not? Bleach works really well but then your hands stink like bleach for the next two days.
